Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness after Raloxifene Treatment

Journal of Women's Health, 2007
Raloxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), decreases total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in postmenopausal women and inhibits increases in intima-media thickness (IMT) in animal models. We tested whether up to 8 years exposure to raloxifene had an effect on subclinical atherosclerosis in the 4-year Multiple Outcomes ...

Clinical value of carotid intima-media thickness testing

Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2006
Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) testing is recognized as a valid method for the noninvasive assessment of atherosclerosis. In addition to its association with known cardiovascular risk factors and both prevalent and incident coronary heart disease, the rate of CIMT progression is directly related to the risk for future cardiovascular events ...

Carotid intima-media thickness of young coronary patients

Coronary Artery Disease, 1999
Although a greater than normal intima-media thickness (IMT) has been found in older coronary patients, the data for younger patients are lacking.To determine the carotid IMT in patients with premature myocardial infarction.We measured IMT (common and internal carotid, carotid bifurcation) in 30 coronary patients, aged 30-50 years (mean 46 years), who ...

Carotid intima media thickness and subclinical early atherosclerosis

International Journal of Cardiology, 2016
We readwith interest the letter by Han et al. [1] regarding our paper entitled ‘Carotid intima media thickness can predict coronary artery disease’ [2]. Coronary artery disease (CAD) has led to higher mortality rate worldwide. Thus, early diagnosis of CAD is important issue indaily routine practice.

Carotid intima-media thickness for the practicing lipidologist

Journal of Clinical Lipidology, 2010
It is well known that cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of men and women in the United States and in many parts of the developed world. However, early detection of atherosclerosis remains a challenging area of research and development. Stress echo and myocardial perfusion studies were not designed to be screening tests and the majority of

Automated Measurement of Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness

2011
Atherosclerosis is a degenerative process that, during years, leads to the accumulation of lipids and other blood-borne materials into the arterial walls.1 The most important consequences correlated to the progression of atherosclerosis are: (1) the narrowing of the artery lumen, (2) the thickening of the wall, (3) the loss of elasticity, and (4) the ...
